Good morning,
My mother is in her 80s and only recently required help with everyday chores. Her health sis declining and I need advice on assisted living options in Monterey area. I can't afford the $8k/month listed by several sites.
I'd also like referrals for planning funeral services so that she has input on the decisions. She has requested cremation, but I don't know what's involved.
Thank you,
Tom
